In February, students will find applications for our departmental scholarships posted in Dunkle Hall. We have four scholarships to award. All interested applicants fill out the English department’s application and submit any additional items required by the specific scholarship(s). These materials are due by March 1. A scholarship committee reviews all of the applications and ranks them. Then, FSU’s Foundation strives to award as many scholarships as possible based on the funds available for each scholarship.

The English Department is quite fortunate in that it boasts many fine students who not only meet but also exceed the eligibility requirements. Each year the competition is quite keen. We encourage all eligible applicants to apply and to include ALL materials listed in each scholarship’s criteria. Please direct inquiries to either Dr. Amy Branam at abranam@frostburg.edu or Mr. Andy Duncan at arduncan@frostburg.edu.
